Sawyer is a 14-year-old, 6.5-lb Yorkshire Terrier seeking an experienced, compassionate home. He has severe collapsing trachea, which presents as chronic coughing and breathing difficulty that can worsen with excitement, stress, or temperature changes. He requires ongoing medical management, a calm environment, and an adopter familiar with senior or special-needs dogs. His quality of life is currently stable with proper care and routine. Sawyer is functionally blind, but once acclimated, he learns his surroundings and navigates confidently. He is affectionate, bonds closely with his person, and thrives on routine. He does best with a harness only, minimal exertion, and a quiet, low-stress home. Sawyer is not for first-time dog owners, but for the right adopter, he is a deeply loving and devoted companion.
